The EU 'presidents' and prime ministers keep betraying the 490 million people in the 27 EU countries. To avoid another defeat, the managers of the EU decided not to hold any referenda at all, but the referendum in Ireland could not be avoided. The Irish European Affairs minister Roche however, said the Irish had to vote in another referendum. Until they vote Yes? read full story / add a comment

it's with regret that I have to cancel the upcoming (photo exhibition) fundraisers planned for the 28th August and 5th September. Looking at things realistically, the amount of funds needed (over €2,000) for the project is too much to raise in such a short space of time, and with that in mind, it wouldn't be fair to ask people for any more of their time and cash. I would like to return any one-off donations we recieved and am open to suggestions of charities that could benefit from the remainder of the funds. The total received to date is €417. I'd like to thank you all for your efforts, whether it was your generosity, time, advice etc. Michael Gallagher. read full story / add a comment

In today's Evening Herald, columnist Dan White plumbs new depths of idiocy. In a bizarre link, he tries to make out that the conflict in Georgia and South Ossetia should encourage the Irish government to help Shell bring the gas from the Corrib field onshore. What does he think they have been doing? Does the 11 million euro spent on Garda overtime not indicate (even to the slow witted Dan White) that maybe the government is already on Shell's side? read the full column here: http://www.herald.ie/opinion/columnists/dan-white/the-r....html read full story / add a comment |
